For some time the subject of bringing
California fruit to Eastern markets by rail
has been under consideration. Attempts
have been made to ship it by ventilated
ears run on passenger train time, but the
cost of freight has been so great that the
fruit has had TO be sold at very high prices :;
beside a very large percentage decayed on
the wav here There has been an objection
to shipping fruit in refrigerator cars, it
being believed among fruit dealers that
fruit subjected to cold on its passage would
lose its fine qualities. However the ex-
pertinent of putting fruit which had
arrived in ventilator cars into retrlger-
ator and subiecting it to cold tor two
weeks. has been tried. The result is most
favorable. The fruit lost none OF its good
qualities. 1t is therefore about the same
as settled that California fruit can be
shipped in refrigerator cars and be placed
upon the Eastern market IN good condition.
This means cheaper fruit and plenty OF

A Teetotaler's Champagne.

There has been recently introduced to the
American public, new champagne, which
has the striking merit of being entirely non
alcoholic, and yet as agreeable to taste as
foreign wines. The name of this new bev-
erage is Lactart Champagne, prepared from
the celebrated Lactart-the acid of butter.
milk, which is said to be very beneficial TO
digestion, while it is very healthful in all
other respects. Since the taste for drinks is
so widespread, a beverage like the Lactart
Champagne, which is perfectly free from
alcohol, must be boon 10 thousands, espec-
tally as its pleasant taste and flavor can stand
comparison with the best of the imported
champagnes. 1t needs, as in fact all cham
pagnes do, to be taken directly off the ice,
and thoroughly cooled when served, as in
that way the vim and sparkle, and generally
invigorating qualities are most marked and
enjoyable. The sale of the Lactart Cham
payne is already very large. augldeod&w1w
A Hard Profession.
Old DR.. Johnson once said addressing a
class of medical students that the study of
medicine was most arduous undertaking :;
that the most comprehensive mind and the
most industrious student could scarcely do
more than explore the portals to medical
study before commencing practice, but that
throughout his whole life the responsibilities
of his profession should rest upon him like a
night mare.
He should explore every avenue of natural
knowledge, must become familiar with chem
istry, natural philosophy aud natural history,
but, above all, he must learn the construction
of his own frame, the means bv which he
lives, moves and has his being. He must
understand the nature Of all those influences
by which health is broken down and restored
and by what means disease, suffering and
death may be averted. DR.. johnson further
says that nothing contributes so much to the
support of quackery as the present INSULT
cheney of medical knowledge. Men do not,
be says, easily abandon hope but as readily
put faith in ignorant pretenders as drowning
men catch at straws.
The good that men do in this life lives
after them" During the life time of old DR..
johnson ne invented what is now known as
DIR. Johnson's Anodyne Liniment, a standard
family remedy of SURPRISING
merit. This liniment is both for in
ternal and external use and it is safe to say
that no single remedy ever discovered has
done so much good as this one. 1t is mex
pensive. ready at a moments notice night or
day and may be used with absolute confidence
in the thousand and one all nents that affli
humanity. In the cure of severe cramps or
pains in the stomach or bowels, dysentery,
6iarrhGa, acute or chronic, this liniment is
sovereign remedy. la the case of chronic
disrrh9a it is certainly worth its weight in
gold. 1t has been known to cure cases from
ten to fifteen years standing after the suffer
ers had been given up.

perceive the fatal blunder made by the
passage of the Glenn bill, better known as

attempting to defeat their own measure.
The representatives in the Legislature have
split upon the matter and there is pros

of substituting a milder measure therefor.
Public sentiment irrespective OF party
preferences, is generally against the bill
and mass-meetngs are being held all over

Two Views of the Strike,

CHICAGO. Dec PSI don't believe it will
injure the Knights at ALL" replied Richard
Grlifiths, who is second in power only to Gen
eral Master-workman Powderly, to an inquiry
if the defeat of the Knights of Labor in the
Reading strike would affect the order. ''The
strike started without the sanction of the
officers of the organization, and the strike has
been beaten, might have been foreseen."
Joseph r. Buchanan, who is the head of the
opposition to Powderly in Chicago, con-
fdent the strike would help the ''kickers." He
said: ''If the men find that nothing will do but a
strike, or if they into that scrape, they ought
to fight and do all they to come out ahead.
1t is not common horse sense,to engage 10 sirug-
gle and not to do your best to win it The Read
ing crowd was nearly ready to join the kick
ing element in the Knights of Labor ranks, any
how, and suppose this will end in forcing them
among the kickers for good. That will hurt the
old organization very materially. AS for arbi-
tration would simply say that the laborine

gated in Chicago.

CHICAGO Dec. 2s.-At the recent Catholic
Synod of the Archdiocese of Chicago the various
DEGREES adopted at the Baltimore Council were
given practical effect and formally promulgated
throughout the archdiocese.
One of these decrees restrains the Catholic
clergy from entering saloons except in cases
where they may be called upon to go there in
the exercise of the sacred duties of their Office
or to administer the last rites of the church to
persons dying slight addition to the ritual
is also recommended the Baltimore Council
having expressed desire that at the end of
each of the early Sunday morning services the
officiating clergyman should devote five or ten
minutes TO instructions not necessarily made up
OF arguments tending to a strict observance of
the Sabbath, but suggesting motives for being
good citizens and Christians. and that after the
last mass half an hour be devoted to this kind
of instruction. The custom heretofore has
been simply to preach after the latest mass on
Sundays. The intention is that each congrega-
ton shall have the benefit of some preaching
and instruction, instead of all being given, as
heretofore, to the last.
These and other recommendations viii be en-
bodied in the constitution of the Synod which
will be ready for proclamation in about fort

from his teens he borrowed few standard vol

and these he studied at night, teaching public
school during the daytime. At the age of twen-
ty-one he began to practice law at Kingston but
soon left the bar for journalism, his first vent

to Chattanooga and started the Daily Democrat,
There he remained until 1885, when he came to
Nashville and established the National Review

he remained Democrat until 1854 He left
the Democratic party two years later and when
the fifty and three plank on the State debt was
adopted he announced that he was no longer a
Democrat. Since that time he has been an ex-
treme Republican. He was elected to the Leg

THE AUToCRATIC CARLISLE.

How the Speaker of the House Prevents Con.
special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Speaker Carlisle Is
accused of arbitrarily controlling the legislation
of the House. Some of the oldest members in
both parties say that when the Speaker is asked
to recognize member for the purpose of NOV.
ing suspension of the rules for consideration Of
a measure, he gives a reply until he
knows what bill is to be called up. IF he is op-
posed to the measure he refuses to recognize ths
member making the application and gives hi.
that he is opposed to the bill. This i,
very unusual. While Dir. Randall was Speaker
he steadily refused when asked for recognition
under the suspension of rules. to learn what
measure to be called up by the motion, be-
cause he said he did be preiudiced
one way T.. other; that it simply ques-
ton of available time, and the practicabiity of
going out of the regular order. Other speakers
have followed the Under the
practice of Speaker Carlisle it becomes absolute
ly impossible for a member TO move a suspension
of the rules for the passage of measure unless
the Speaker approves of the proposed legisla-
tion. During the last session the Speaker was
i'm mportured a number of times by members who
wanted to move TO suspend the rules for the con-
siGeraton of various general pension bills and
the Blair educational bill. Dir. Carlisle. when
told what would under the motions
frankly said that he opposed the proposed leeis-
lation, and for that reason could not give recog-
